Abstract

ABSTRACT Religion strongly influences the rules and norms imposed on sexual relations, contraceptive use, and family planning. Religious convictions and communal obligations are also often involved in women’s struggles with reproductive choices. The Conservative Laestadians in Finland are one example of a conservative procreational religious movement that requires abstinence from premarital sex and upholds a negative attitude towards the use of birth control. In this article, I follow young former Conservative Laestadian women’s views on reproductive freedom, procreational ethos, and pronatalist politics. I propose that there is an ongoing upsurge among young former Conservative Laestadian women who resist the movement’s procreational ethos. I also suggest that the Laestadian procreational ethos has affinities with the nationalist and pronatalist aims of promoting limitless human reproduction. The article’s data is based on conversational interviews produced with young former Laestadian women in the spring of 2021. The women’s views assist in understanding religious procreation politics in a light of reproductive justice and ecological sustenance.
前保守党年轻女性对生育自由、生育精神与生育主义政治的看法
宗教对性关系、避孕药具的使用和计划生育的规则和规范有着强烈的影响。宗教信仰和公共义务也经常涉及妇女在生育选择方面的斗争。芬兰保守的Laestadians是保守的生育宗教运动的一个例子,该运动要求禁欲婚前性行为,并对使用节育措施持消极态度。在这篇文章中,我跟随年轻的前保守党Laestadian女性对生育自由、生育精神和生育主义政治的看法。我认为,在年轻的前保守党Laestadian女性中,有一股抵制该运动生育精神的热潮正在兴起。我还认为,莱斯塔德的生殖精神与民族主义和促进人类无限繁殖的生殖主义目标有密切关系。这篇文章的数据是基于2021年春季对年轻的前莱斯塔德女性的谈话采访。妇女的观点有助于从生殖正义和生态维持的角度理解宗教生育政治。
